Second day @ Rock en Seine with a better line-up than yesterday, the sun is shining even though rain is expected for today.DEUS from Belgium is playing on the main stage, strangely enough 10 min before they went on there is literally nobody there, people arrived at the last minute, they do have an older audience than the normal punter @ Rock en Seine.Nice rocking 45 min set even though the sound 's not that good.

Had a walk around the site to see the Jean Charles de Castelbajac store (Pic above) with limited edition t-shirts, Tender Trap is playing on the second stage but it's seems to be very average.

NOEL GALLAGHER & His High Flying Birds

We've never been fans of Oasis @ Rockerparis but we like Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds a lot, we saw them @ Casino de Paris (Dec 2011) & @ Grand Rex (March 2012) and they performed great shows each time. This time it's no exception, Noel is alternating his new songs with some from Oasis which are sounding better with him.It's a shame they didn't play a longer set.

Eagles of Death Metalaka Pigeons of Shit Metal

Novelty band EODM is very popular over here and it's packed to see them, Can't understand why, they're funny to watch but honestly they have very simple/average songs with volume to the "11".They're not great players either.The singer from Black Keys is watching from the wings of the stage (see pics above)Axl Rose from Guns N Roses called them Pigeons of Shit Metal after firing them from the support slot , I guess he was right.At least they have a great sense of humor that's probably why they're doing so good, check the t-shirt above with the GNR logo.

BLACK KEYS

Everybody's waiting for the Black Keys, cool stage with some great lightning, still haven't heard the last album that got rave reviews.We saw them @ L'Album de la semaine tv show at the very beginning of this tour to promote the new album, I guess we were very lucky to see them perform in front of a hundred people now that they are filling up arenas and headlining festivals.The reviews from both their shows at the Zénith in Paris a few months ago were not that great, it seemed that they took a long between each song, this problem has been resolved as they're playing one song after another -without much interaction with the audience- alternating new and old songs.The sound is great and the addition of extra players gives a warm and enhanced the music to some new levels.

They do not forget their old fans by playing a few oldies as a duet.

Probably the best set form the festival so far.They have great songs and the attitude.Hard to believe they didn't play more than 90 min, I mean What the Fuck ???Bruce Springsteen played for 3h40 min last July @ Paris Bercy, Can't those "younger" bands play longer ?!?

Mark Lanegan is closing this day on the smaller stager in front of a few thousands of dedicated fans. He was in good spirit -he thanked us twice- and played us the new album, always classy as usual, he'll be back in Paris at the Trabendo club in Paris later this year, not to be missed. Too bad he didn't played a very long set.
